Over and during the past 40 years, February has been the S&P 500’s weakest month within the generally strong November to April frame.

In that frame stocks have risen only 0.06% in the average February, according to the data

Febraury has been the most dangerous month for stocks in years after elections. In the post election Februaries since Y 1977, the S&P has fallen by 1.85% on average.

Notably, the US stock market has gone 75 days without a daily decline of 1% or more. So, we can expect it at any time.

Some guru’s expects the S&P to fall 3 to 6% in the weeks ahead, such a dip would serve as a “welcome buying opportunity,” they say.

A pullback will be very healthy in here I believe. Though, there will be outlandish cries that the Sky is Falling on US President Trump’s honeymoon rally.

I expect that the US economy will grow under President Trump, and there is going to be a lot more money to spend.

Wednesday, the S&P 500 finished Flat to Unchanged while the NAS Comp (+0.5%) and DJIA (+0.1%) ended modestly higher due to a huge move in shares of Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL) 129.92, +8.57, +7.1% following its F-Q-1 earnings report, which revealed record revenues, earnings, and iPhone sales.
